Guattari: The Symptom?

The strange power of Guattariâ€™s writings is such that his works are less collections than whirlwinds, less toolboxes than roaring vortexes one is apt to be drawn violently towards: to study Guattari is neither a coincidence nor an accident (for an English academic) but rather a symptom, even a political symptom. Perhaps simply an indication of the self-destructive desire inherent to global capitalism in which the dissemination of essentially â€œanti-capitalistâ€ literature is not simply allowed but in fact widely promoted â€” the faint glimmer of global Renaissance.
